Description
Technical Field
The invention relates to the technical field of aircraft airspeed detection, in particular to an aircraft airspeed calibration method.
Background
The airspeed is a measure of the magnitude of aerodynamic force applied to the aircraft, is a pneumatic parameter that the aircraft must acquire, and can be generally obtained by measuring total pressure and static pressure through an airspeed sensor. The airspeed sensor is generally installed at the aircraft nose position, and the flow that its perception is disturbed greatly by the aircraft nose, and the measurement result has certain error, uses often to calibrate through standard airspeed tube. The standard airspeed tube calibration method needs to be supported by a large number of test flights, and the cost is high; on the other hand, the standard airspeed head still has errors caused by machine head disturbance, and the errors cannot be completely eliminated fundamentally.
According to flight dynamics, the track speed of the mass center of the airplane when the airplane flies in the air(i.e. ground speed, abbreviated as ground speed), flying speed(airspeed, referred to herein as airspeed) and wind speedThe relationship among the three is shown as the formula:in the formula, ground speedThe method is a known quantity, can be obtained by a sensor such as a GPS and the like, and has high precision. Because the round trip time is short, the wind speed and the direction can be considered to be kept unchanged, and therefore, the high-precision airspeed value can be obtained theoretically by using the formula.
At present, when the reciprocating constant-speed flat flight is applied to calibrating airspeed in engineering practice, the airspeed and the wind speed are always considered to be coincident, namely the vector included angle between the airspeed and the wind speed is 0 degree or 180 degrees, and the airplane is in a downwind or upwind state, so that the vacuum speed can be solved by using a simple scalar sum calculation method. In fact, in order to meet the conditions, the air route of the airplane must be adjusted, so that the airspeed and the wind speed direction are coincident, and the difficulty and the complexity of test flight planning are increased; or the flight path is not adjusted, the flight hourly space velocity and the wind speed direction of the airplane are not coincident, but the directions of the flight hourly space velocity and the wind speed are considered to be coincident during calibration calculation, so that an error is caused, and under most flight conditions, the wind speed and the airspeed direction are not coincident, namely, the airplane is in crosswind. Therefore, it is necessary to provide a method for calibrating the airspeed of an aircraft, which can solve the airspeed with high accuracy without paying attention to whether the wind speed and the airspeed direction coincide, so as to calibrate the airspeed sensor.
